I obviously know I am going to need recs from just about every sorority because of my age, and I dont want my age to be a factor. I will have a sophmore standing. Joining a sorority has always been something Ive wanted to be a part of. I love the idea of a sisterhood while helping in the community. I volunteer here in Dallas as much as I can with Big brothers big sisters, the SPCA, and Habitat for humanity. I feel it would be a huge part of my college experience and my question for you is if anyone is remotely familiar with the Texas Tech recruitment process, what are some helpful hints, tips, ideas..etc.
Also, what is the best way to get recs in the Dallas area if anyone is familiar?
Thanks ladies!  |
Whether you "want" your age to be a factor does not matter. It
will be a factor at Tech but there is nothing you can do about it. You can't change your age, so just concentrate on the things you can control like your grades, appearance, resume and social skills. Tech isn't as competitive as UT, but it is still a very competitive recruitment.
You're not going to need recs "because of your age" or to "just about" every sorority. In order to maximize her chances of receiving a bid,
every PNM at Tech needs recs to
every sorority. It's a competitive Texas rush and that's the way we do things here.
If you live in Dallas, the best way to get recs is to network with girls you already know who are active in their sororities as well as families, relatives and others you know in the community. Seriously, it would be hard to spit in Dallas without it hitting a sorority woman. They're everywhere. Recs from people you know are the best, but if you come up empty then contact the Dallas Alumnae Panhellenic Association:
